Head of Engineering
Come shape the future of education with us.
At Compass, we're on a mission to transform the school day for everyone - from staff and students to families and administrators. We build smart, seamless technology that empowers schools to focus on what really matters: learning, growing and thriving.
That mission has fuelled our growth into a global scale-up, now supporting 5,000+ schools across three countries, backed by a team of 300+ people. Our all-in-one school management platform is redefining how education communities connect, communicate and operate.
We're now looking for a Head of Engineering to own end-to-end engineering delivery and the day-to-day people leadership of our engineering org, spanning Compass, SchoolBytes, Griddle and Clipboard.
About the Role
Reporting to the CPTO, you'll translate technology and product priorities into predictable engineering execution, build and develop a strong Development Manager cohort, and own the engineering operating model, organisational capability and delivery performance.
This is a leadership role built around the Development Manager layer - you'll lead through 5-7 Development Managers rather than directly managing squads, and be accountable for the consistency, capability and execution of the wider engineering organisation of ~40-50 engineers.
